Je moet er inderdaad wel van houden. Ik moet eerlijk bekennen dat ik Golden Sun niet top vond, ik kon mijn tijd er niet 100 % aan besteden...

tuurlijk is hij lang niet zo diep als Final Fantasy, Shining Soul , Lunar, maar omdat Golden Sun grafisch zo geweldig was, is het mede daarom zon grote hit geworden.

Ik wil hem ook wel importeren, maar heb geen geld

Nu wacht ik wel op de europese release...

En ik ben het helemaal eens met Luigi! Er zijn wat leuke particles effecten, maar dat was het hoor!

Ik zou niet weten wat voor spel je er anders moet van maken? Een platform?

Lees de review: hier maar eens.

De fellowship is nix aan en ook daarvan hebben wij een review: Klik hier maar

********en waarom doet mijn avatar het niet?

Subtiele sgop he

Heeft iemand ervaring met de Afterburner GBA. Heeft iemand zo'n ding geimporteerd? Heeft iemand het zelf geinstalleerd? Weet iemand een Nederlands of buitenlands bedrijf die die dingen maakt en verkoopt.

Ik weet er zelf 1 maar ik wil er eventueel meer weten of jullie ervaringen horen. Met komende toppers als Zelda LTTP, Zelde (Windwaker), Metroid Fushion,......etc,.etc kan ik gewoon niet gamen op zo'n donkere GBA. Waarom deed Nintendo dit eigenlijk? Maak toch eens een normaal scherm dammit.

Lik-Sang heeft de kits voor 35 dollar, en zij hebben ook veel extra spulletjes voor je Afterburnerkit, nieuwe covers, en extra chips. Deze zijn alle legaal.

Ik ben nog niemand tegengekomen die ze inbouwt verder...

Bij mij in Dordrecht zit de gameshop en die verkoopt en installeert em voor je. En ik heb et gezien en het ziet er HEEL goed uit. Alleen vond ik het nog wel prijzig: iets van 80 euro maar dan ben je wel helemaal klaar.

Pokemon is probably one of the greatest fads of the 20th centuary and beyond... but is it just a fad? Well, Japan's ever-growing love for the game suggests that in the east, at least, the game is a classic. Mark has acquired an import copy of Pokemon Sapphire and brings us a preview/review of the game!

Pokemon has become a phenomenon, making millions and creating many pretenders for its gaming throne. Now, into its third true incarnation, has the magic died, has all novelty been sucked out? Is this a worthy successor or a waste of Plastic?
By now everyone knows the score on Pokemon. Created by Satoshi Tajiri and Game Freak, the Gameboy game in which you had to collect, train and battle 150 monsters, helped to reinvent the gameboy and introduce the art of trading and dueling to Gameboy Games.
Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire are the third true incarnation of the series. As such the gameplay and graphics have been tweaked for Pokemons first GBA outing.

Graphically, there was outrage when the first shots were released due to basic textures and backgrounds. The non-battle graphics are indeed sparse and simple but the game also features realistic reflections, ripples, rain and sandstorms. In battle, the area you fight in is shown underfoot (sand on the floor if it's a desert fight). The Pokeballs differ in colour and pattern according to which type you caught your pokemon with. The character models are the sharpest yet with clearer visuals on old favourites and some marvellous new faces. My favourites include the "Kidney Fish" (a kidney shaped fish), Pelican pokemon Pelliper and something that's part pig part spring. Attack graphics are much better with nice details and quirks to the attacks. Aurora beam actually features the Aurora Borealis in the background. The sounds are the same as last time with little new music and the same digitised grunts.

If it's anywhere that you can see the differences, it's the gameplay. First off, over 100 new monsters have been added, mostly half-breeds to increase stratergy, though both Dragon and Steel type gain many new additions. No new types are introduced. The game is set in a new area to the first two pairings (blue/red and gold/silver) with only the eight gyms and an Elite four. Most wild Pokemon are low in levels, the Secret Tower having one level 70 and the rest at around lv50.
The Pokemon Navigator features a map and other functions, though I couldn't understand these due to a lack of Japanese language skills. The Pokedex features Pokemon cries, area locations and size comparisons.
There are a few tweaks to the Gold/Silver set up that makes this version more pleasurable. Pokemon wise, skills that are gained via experience have their affects noted so you can decide which move to replace. The Pokemons exact likeness is seen in the pokemon selection screen and the Pokemon screen itself is much clearer and well presented. In fact, all the menus are clearer and easier to use. Some Pokemon even seem to have special abilities not linked to their moves. Legendary Pokemon Kyorge automatically uses rain dance whenever he appears, not taking up a precious turn. Dark type Guraeru uses a growl attack in the same way.

The game enviroments even have an effect. Rainy areas act as Rain Dance, powering up water Pokemon. Sandstorms in the desert act as the Sandstorm ability. HM's are better with an animation of pokemon being released to do their job. The new Dive HM means pokemon can be caught underwater and it is now possible to navigate caves without Flash as you have a visible area around you.
Team Aqua (Sapphire) or Team Magma (Ruby) has replaced team Rocket. These groups play a lot like Team Rocket but only seem to use four Pokemon! There is another new feature, the tag battle. Your first two pokemon come out for a 2 on 2 battle. Attacks can be spread out evenly or you can attack the weakest link. Some moves like Surf and Swift attcak both opponents. This does little to change the way that the game is played.

The game, while good, is also flawed. Some caves and the areas where you dive are surrounded by mist which can be very frustrating as even Flash doesn't help and you can spend up to 20 minutes trying to get out of a cave. The game is also much shorter than Gold/Silver and many pokemon cannot be caught in this version (at least 100). Expect around 20-30 hours before beatingThe game is visually overshadowed by the likes of Golden sun and Advance Wars.

I think this is as good as Gold/Silver but I would wait till the American release to get this game. Many features such as the new feeding system, the phone system etc are uncomprehensible without fluent knowledge of Japanese. This is why my marks are lower than I would like. A US/European review will be posted later in 2003.
